The sky was bright and very pleasant. Sun Zhaoyuan and Yu Yin Qiao went out to play, and came to a field on the edge of Yanfu City, the field has mountains, water, flowers and grass, the scenery is pleasant, Yu Yin Qiao saw that there was no one around, and asked while walking: "That night, you were not afraid of taking those old troops into the city, but you were defeated by Li Youmin's officers and soldiers, and you were captured and Ling Chi was executed?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "How can I manage so much, the matter is urgent, Fang Jiatong is my last straw, I can only give it a go." If you die, it doesn't make sense for me to live alone. ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Why are you so good to me? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Who called you so cute and interesting, it makes me feel like a spring breeze every day, it is all kinds of annoying, as long as I joke with you, I feel that it is not a problem." Sun Zhaoyuan paused, suddenly stopped, looked at Yu Yinqiao and said, "Is it good to be my wife?" I'm going to write a letter to my father, Ming Media is getting married, and I'm really to you from now on. ”

Yu Yin Qiao said shamefully: "Who wants to marry you." After a pause, he said, "You didn't get famous." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "When you came to my room that day, you clearly said that even if I have no fame, I will marry me in the future, and I will not even have a house to live in, as long as I am diligent and steadfast, and raise you and your children, I will marry a chicken and a dog at the ends of the world." ”

Yu Yin Qiao playfully said: "When did I say that?" Do you come up with evidence? Is there a signature? ”

The things in the world are so strange, if it is an ordinary person who is cheating, then Sun Zhaoyuan must be angry and angry, thinking that this person is not trustworthy, but as soon as Yu Yin Qiao cheats, he thinks it is fun and funny, but he will laugh.

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Then what if I get fame? ”

Yu Yin Qiao smiled shyly: "You can talk about it after you pass the exam." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "No, you have to say that it is finalized first, otherwise you will be in arrears when the time comes." ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "How are you going to finalize it?" If you think you're a fool, you won't be able to pass the test. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Let's write a contract, if I get fame and win the championship, you will marry me, how about it?" Signature and drawing, one copy per person. It just so happens that this year is the year of the three-year examination. ”

Yuyin Qiao laughed and said, "You can still win the champion?" As long as you can get a jinshi, I will marry you. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Since you are not demanding, I will try my best to do it." After speaking, he took out a pen and paper and wrote the contract: My grandson Zhaoyuan, in order to marry Yu Yinqiao as his wife, from today onwards, I will be angry and hard, and I will take a year to get the Jinshi. If it succeeds, Yu Yinqiao will voluntarily marry me as his wife, and this is the basis. The two of them signed and drew the charge.

After Yu Yinqiao finished signing, he suddenly said faintly: "There are dozens of Jinshi in one subject in three years in Yong'an Prefecture, and you are afraid that you will not be able to pass the exam." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "That's not necessarily, and it depends on my ability." ”

At that moment, the two returned to Yufu, and Yu Yinqiao found out the four books and five classics, classics and books, and moved them in front of Sun Zhaoyuan's house, and laid paper for Sun Zhaoyuan every day, making tea and water. Those books, in the eyes of others, are all books that are difficult to understand the essence, for Sun Zhaoyuan, those books are just children's books, familiar with since childhood, very simple.

However, when I re-read it this time, I felt that it was very difficult, and even the first sentence of the first article of "The Mean" "The predicate of the mandate of heaven is sexuality, the recklessness is the Tao, and the cultivation of the Tao is the teaching" is completely incomprehensible. In the past, he was a genius boy with five cars and students everywhere, but now he has forgotten everything.

Yu Yinqiao said: "These books are obscure, and I will fall asleep once I read them." It's all hypnotic fairy books. If you learn it all, you're really capable. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan beat his spirit and said: "Don't say that it is an immortal book, that is, a wordless heavenly book, I also want to understand its meaning." ”

Since then, he has worked hard every day, reciting every day, even if he goes out to play and eat and drink with Yuyin Qiao, he always keeps his hands on the scroll. After all, Sun Zhaoyuan's talent is far above ordinary people, even if he falls off a horse and falls his head, it is not comparable to ordinary people, in less than two months, he has already mastered the four books and five classics, and the political affairs at that time, all of which are silently familiar. In the blink of an eye, it was July, and it was only one month away from the August township test.

The first pass of this imperial examination is called the township examination, which is held in the provincial cities of various states every three years, and is also called the autumn examination because it is held in autumn and August. The examiner was appointed by the Nie Er Heavenly Son. After the exam, the main and deputy lists are released, and the main list is called the lifter, and the first name is Xie Yuan. Lifters can go to Beijing in the spring of the next year to take the examination and take the examination. Because the examination is held in spring, it is also called spring.

The examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the Son of Heaven appointed the chief and vice presidents, and the people of each state and the students of the Guozi Supervisor could take the examination, and three hundred were admitted as tributes, and the first one was called Huiyuan.

Tributes can take the temple examination immediately after the examination. The palace examination is the main examination of the Son of Heaven, and the examination of policy is asked, that is, current affairs. After the Gongshi were taken, they were collectively called Jinshi.

The palace examination is divided into three top admits. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second is given to the Jinshi origin, and the third is given to the same Jinshi origin. The first place is commonly known as the champion, the second place is commonly known as the list, and the third place is commonly known as Tanhua, which is collectively known as the Sanding Jia.

Sanding Jia entered the Hanlin Academy, walking beside the Son of Heaven, many of the great members of the dynasty were born in the Hanlin Academy, and when they entered the Hanlin Academy, it can be basically determined that this life will be a high-ranking official and have a bright future.

Those who can get the first in the three exams, that is, those who have obtained the Xie Yuan, the Hui Yuan, and the champion, are called Lianzhong Sanyuan, before the Nie Er clan, for thousands of years, only one person has won this honor, which is the supreme achievement in the world.

And what Sun Zhaoyuan thought was to connect the three yuan, so that Yu Yin Qiao was impressed by himself from then on.

Because the township exam was held in the provincial capital, Sun Zhaoyuan was going to the capital government for the exam, Yu Yinqiao felt that it was funny, so he begged his parents to go with Sun Zhaoyuan. Yu Xiaosheng and his wife couldn't resist their baby daughter, so they took a plate and wrapped it with Yu Yinqiao, telling her to eat and drink on a good journey, and not to save money and hurt herself.

Sun Zhaoyuan rode a big horse and took Yu Yinqiao back to the capital. When I arrived at the door of my inn, I saw that there was only a green card at the door, and there was no red card, so the government did not track it down, and only a letter was sent at home, so I was relieved to enter the store.

The shopkeeper reported the current accounts to Sun Zhaoyuan one by one, and he was not in these months, and the store received fifty taels of silver. Sun Zhaoyuan was very happy, and invited the shopkeeper and the second child in the store to the banquet.

Sun Zhaoyuan went to the government to sign up for the township test the next day. The official in charge of the township examination registration is called Wu Cunxin, and said: "You are from Qingqiu Prefecture, not from this state, and you are not allowed to participate in the township examination in this state according to the law, if you want to participate, you need to go back to Qingqiu Prefecture." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Is there room for maneuver in this matter?" If adults are accommodating, I will be grateful. Then he took a minot, and put it on the table.

That Wu Cunxin was originally a businessman, but as soon as he saw the silver, he smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is more difficult, Rao is my side to register for you, and the list of candidates will be reviewed later, and you will be removed." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Is there no good way?" ”

Wu Cunxin didn't speak, just drank tea. Sun Zhaoyuan immediately understood Wu Cunxin's meaning, and took another ingot of silver and put it on the table.

Wu Cunxin smiled again and said, "If you can catch up with the prefect, let the prefect modify your hometown, and indicate that you are already a child and a talented person on your hometown, this matter is feasible, and I will give you accommodation." If the prefect doesn't allow it, I can't help you. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan thanked Wu Cunxin and left the government.
